Nice pictures Simon.... I've used a 5m pixel Nikon Coolpix 5700 for the
last year (loads of stuff under photos as http://bsm.alpesprovence.net )
and not had any problems at all with glare, in the sunniest of weather
on the peaks. I do have a lens hood that improves quality a bit though.
You can get screw in filters for some digitals.

The best buy I made recently was a LowePro backpack camera bag. Unzips
horizontally halfway down so camera accessories compartment is in
bottom, and nothing comes into contact with wet gloves/bottles etc in
top half. Often cart both still camera and camcorder around now when I'm
skiing.
